Corporate Governance and Growth Potential: an empirical analysis

Jean McGuire

Corporate Governance: An International Review, 2000, vol. 8, issue 1, 32-42

Abstract: This study investigates the influence of growth potential on corporate governance mechanisms. Results suggest that firms with high growth potential make greater use of managerial equity ownership and long term incentives and have higher proportions of insiders on their boards of directors. The findings are congruent with the argument that firms with high growth potential make use of more flexible, future‐oriented mechanisms of corporate governance.
